Why do we believe that most of the mass of the milky way is in the form of dark matter?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Dark matter is a type of matter, whose composition is unknown and which corresponds to 80% of the matter in the universe. Its name refers to the fact it does not emit or interact with any type of electromagnetic radiation, being completely transparent throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.

However, it interacts with the known matter through <u>gravity</u>.

In this sense, it is believed that the Milky Way has 90% dark matter and only 10% ordinary matter (known matter). Because, like gravity, dark matter can not be observed directly, however its existence is inferred through the movement of the stars and the cosmic dust within the galaxy.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

KE₂ = 6000 J

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J

Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J

The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J

Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level =  KE₂

Now from energy conservation

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

Now by putting the values

U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂

7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂

KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J

KE₂ = 6000 J

Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
